Courses and Activities

All of our courses and activities are offered to parents of both St. Fergal’s N.S. and St. Kilian’s C.S.

The Incredible Years Parenting Course

Starting on Thursday, January 12, 2017 from 9:30am to 11:30am

We are a friendly and relaxed group for parents and carers. We look at a new topic each session that can help address your child's problem behaviours. The first half of the programme focuses on the positive behaviours you would like to see from your child. The second half looks at reducing the problem behaviours you would like to see less of. Research has found that families were able to make real improvements in their children's behaviours after completing the programme.

Decoupage Course

Decoupage involves cutting out pictures, gluing them to an object and then coating the pictures and the object with layers of varnish. The finished item can look so beautiful that it appears to be professionally painted.

Starting : Monday 16th of January

Time: 11:00am - 1:00pm

Venue: Art Room St. Kilian's C.S.

Cost: €2 per session (for 6 weeks)
